Complex Memecoin Developers Abandon Project Amid Harassment Allegations; Blockchain Sleuth ZachXBT Declines Aid
In an abrupt and controversial move, the developers of Complex memecoin have abruptly shut down the project, leaving holders in limbo and drawing the ire of the cryptocurrency community. The project, built on the Base blockchain, was launched with much fanfare on March 30th and quickly gained traction, attracting over 3,013 token holders. However, it all came crashing down on April 4th when the developers announced their decision to sunset Complex, citing "harassment" as the reason.
"After careful consideration and with heavy hearts, we’ve made the difficult decision to sunset Complex," wrote the protocol's staff in a statement. "While this project has been a labor of love and a source of inspiration for our team, recent instances of harassment have created an untenable environment that impacts the mental well-being of our members."
The sudden closure of Complex has left many users scratching their heads, as they question the legitimacy of the developers' claims of harassment. "What kind of cringe shit is this?" exclaimed one user. "You guys didn't even last a week and rugging using mental health as an excuse, might as well just rug without this pathetic attempt of a post expecting people to clap for you. Idiots," they alleged.
Amid the chaos, users turned to prominent blockchain sleuth ZachXBT for help, hoping he would expose any wrongdoing by the developers. However, ZachXBT, known for his unwavering commitment to uncovering crypto scams and rug pulls, has refused to get involved, expressing his frustration with the influx of requests to assist with memecoin-related issues.
"No, I do not care about your meme coins stop asking me," ZachXBT replied to a user who reached out for help. "I simply dislike spending long periods helping people who willingly choose to gamble on vaporware meme coins vs actual victims," he continued. "You do not even follow me and then speak poorly of me yet expect me to want to spend time helping you for free?"
ZachXBT's stance has drawn mixed reactions from the community. Some users have applauded his decision to prioritize more serious cases, while others have accused him of being selective in his investigations and neglecting the concerns of memecoin investors. However, one user offered a more nuanced perspective, highlighting the complexities of ZachXBT's role in the crypto ecosystem.
"You expose people, and they attack you; you don't expose, people attack you; God bless you, ZachXBT, this space wouldn’t be the same without you," they wrote.
Meanwhile, the future of Complex remains uncertain. The project's native token, SIMPLE, has lost over 90% of its value in the past 24 hours and now has a negligible market cap. It remains to be seen whether the developers will reconsider their decision to shut down the project or if Complex will join the growing list of abandoned memecoins in the cryptocurrency landscape.
